Hey those guys aren't bad at all!

A chilly Sunday, too cold to go outside work on the cars..... time to listen to some 78 acetates...





this is the actual recording on the turntable, only my copy has a blue label because the Columbia pressing came from England.
Personally I like Albert Ammons heavy hammering piano playing on the Woo Woo side, better than Pete Johnson on Boo Woo.

DJ, are you using 3pt front seat belts by chance? If you are did you use retractable or non retractable? The floors and seat belts are up next.

Hello Mike,
I only mounted 2pt lap belts in the rear for the kids at least. No belts on the front.

Not much going on here, but I picked the battery from warm basement storage and put it back into car. Probably not going to be any extended freezing temps this year. As usual just a few squirts of EZ-start spray and she fired right up after 5 months of winter storage. Can't believe how fast time flies!
This weekend will be a Rock'n'Roll type festival in my hometown and the weather forecast is good so far. probably going to be in the mid 50s maybe even 60s ° without night time freeze or road salt. Hopefully I will be able to take her out to the show (after a good wash). Not even 10 miles from my place, so a very short trip, but the first  time out in spring is always sweet ! And I don't have to fill'er up for that....I don't want to break my bank account...

Hope all goes well for you to get out. I was planning on a trip this weekend but rain in the forecast and the mountains are still snow filled. Gas here is up again in the $5 a gallon range 

[RICH MUISE]

$5.....really?? Just went UP to $3 here.
Sounds like your perfect weekend, Gunter!
Was going to Goodguys 360 miles south of here, have to cancel. Haven't closed on our house sale yet.

cool pics Gunter, same as Jim, 5.60ish in my area DTLA.(must be changing to summer blend...)  In Oct, we only ever got down to 4.05 after the spike last year.

Get some pics of that CS at the Festival please!!

Rich, Thats nothing compared to natural gas now, my bill for January was $450 and the one for February will probably be as bad or worst. And they want a 20% increase for next year

Our Propane for heat went up to $780 a month... ugh

[mustang6984]

DANG! I thought the $2.79 we are paying for gas and $3.79 for diesel was bad enough. But then, back in Dec of 2020 we were under $2 for gas and around $3 for diesel. (in MO) Prices will inch up for summer once Branson opens up for tourist season later this month. Dolly Parton's place will open next week and the others will start doing same as well soon after. By April 1st back in full swing.

We're down to approx $7 right now for regular, but I expect it to get up to $9 again for cruising season in summer. Our energy prices are insane. electric power is 2.5 times compared to last year and heating oil up to approx $7 per gln.
Anyways , got a nice enamel cast iron wood burning stove from the 1950s and I still do get my living room area the temperature I WANT, just saying....
Will post 57 CS pics after the weekend.

And here I thought full house natural gas heat at $35 a month was bad.  I priced gas at Costco a little bit ago at $3.63.  I thought gas in Ely Nevada yesterday was bad at $3.95 a gallon. 

[mustang6984]

Well heard just today that Dolly opened up her place already, so we will start seeing more tourists in town, and more show palaces opening...and of course then gas in Branson will go up. Diesel in Berryville AR (10 miles from my house) is at $3.65 a gallon now.

Well..... in case somebody was wondering....

of course it rained on Friday, and chilling winds brought down the temps to freezing Saturday night. So my 57 had to stay at home.   

it is what it is.... hopefully out soon !
